After graduation, Brennan plans to work in environmental health and safety or Superfund cleanup, then pursue a PhD to help train the next generation of scientists.
At Johns Hopkins, Brennan found a place to turn that passion into action—through cutting-edge research, a global network of alumni, and a community focused on impact. 🌍

💬 “Take the leap and apply. Even if you’re unsure—be authentic and tell your story.”
🌎 Student Spotlight 👇

Growing up in West Virginia, Brennan Lawless saw how the environment—both natural and built—can shape human health. That experience sparked a passion for environmental science and the drive to protect our planet. 🌿

New research alert 👇
Study highlights a critical challenge: Even with rapid renewable growth, U.S. energy supply may still fall short of demand.
This study reminds us that the energy transition is as much a materials challenge as it is a technology one.

Roni Neff shed light on #foodwaste and how better food labeling can play a pivotal role in reducing it at @foodtank.bsky.social #NYCClimateWeek! www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxDQS...
We highlight:
🔬 Covalent + non-covalent binding assays (from nucleosides to proteins & proteomes)
🌊 Differences between treatment by-products & DBPs
📚 Case studies showing how these tools assess toxicity in single compounds + mixtures

Dr. Jaime Madrigano at Johns Hopkins is studying how extreme heat affects people who can’t afford to stay cool at home.

Her NIH-backed research in New Orleans tracks indoor temps, housing conditions, and health risks to inform life-saving policy. #ResearchSavesLives
